DNG-9902 - The Phone That Dials the Dead
Last modified: April 30, 2025
It all started with an estate sale at the old ███████ Mansion. Among the dusty antiques and forgotten furniture sat an unassuming rotary phone, its enamel faded but still intact. No one thought much of it at first—just another relic of a bygone era. But then the whispers began. It wasn’t long before rumors spread: this wasn’t just any phone. It could connect you to the dead.
Brand: ████████ Communications
A small telecommunications company that was big in the late ’70s. They were known for making reliable rotary phones but mysteriously went out of business in 1979.
Model: SpiritWave 3000
Catchy, isn’t it? The model name feels a little too on-the-nose now, but back then, it was marketed as cutting-edge.
Serial Number: BW-7938-5402
Every cursed item has its quirks, and this one’s unique identifier adds to its lore. Some claim the numbers hold a hidden meaning, though no one’s cracked the code.
Key Features (Before Things Got Weird)
Before it became infamous, the SpiritWave 3000 was just a sturdy, no-nonsense phone:
- Crystal-Clear Calls: Perfect for chatting without interruptions.
- Built to Last: The thing could probably survive a fall from a second-story window.
- Smooth Dialing: Its rotary mechanism was oddly satisfying to use.
- Compact Design: Sleek for its time, it fit in any room without being an eyesore.
When Things Turned Strange
Once it landed in the hands of its latest owner, the phone started acting… differently.
- Untraceable Calls: It dialed numbers on its own—ones that didn’t exist in any directory.
- Whispering Static: If you listened closely during calls, you’d hear faint voices in the background, sometimes crying or murmuring.
- Always “On”: The phone worked even when unplugged. No power, no phone line—yet it would still ring.
The Discovery
The phone was found in the attic of ███████ Mansion, a crumbling old house with a reputation for being haunted. It was connected to a dead line but still rang occasionally. When someone finally answered, they heard a voice—one that sounded eerily familiar.
Its Creepy Personality
People who used the phone all told the same story. They’d hear the voices of loved ones who had passed away, sometimes clear, sometimes distorted. These weren’t just random words either. The voices talked about specific memories, things only the deceased would know.
Even stranger, the phone’s call log seemed to update itself, listing dates and names of people close to the owner. The catch? These were death dates.
The Experiment
Naturally, this thing caught the attention of paranormal investigators. Here’s what they found:
- Random Dialing: When they dialed random numbers, they got static—followed by faint murmurs, sometimes screams.
- Unstoppable Ringing: Even disconnected from power, the phone kept ringing. And the longer it was left unanswered, the louder it got.
A Word of Warning
This phone is now part of a private cursed collection and is strictly off-limits. People who’ve interacted with it report nightmares, strange noises in their homes, and an overwhelming sense of being watched.
If you ever come across the SpiritWave 3000, don’t pick it up. Some calls are better left unanswered.
